Know the activity

Build a little safety into the city.

Every city has them. On street corners, under flyovers, outside shop fronts—stray dogs and cats making do with whatever the world leaves them. They ask for very little: a meal, a dry place to sleep, and someone who notices.

Paw-sitive Huts is built around that simple truth. In partnership with a local animal NGO, your team designs and builds kennels that become real shelters for homeless animals in your city.

It is hands-on and heartwarming. By the end, your team has built something a living creature can curl up in and feel safe.
